German pilot landed on Zugspitze.

German pilot Tom Huber in a "Savage Classic" flies over the mountains before his landing on top of the Zugspitze mountain May 3, 2008. Huber landed his plane on a snow-covered makeshift airstrip on Germany's highest mountain- Zugspitzplatt plateau at the height of 2.600 meters, near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria. This is the first landing on the plateau since 50 years.

No the Zugspitz is the highest mountain within Germany's borders. There are plenty of mountains that are higher than the Zugspitz in the same mountain range and within kilometers of each other but they are all on the Austrian and Switzerland side of the border.

You can see the higher mountains from the German side but like I said they are on the Austrian/Swiss side of the border.

Talk about you hairy landings! With all those mountain updrafts and downdrafts, couple with an engine that probably isn't much stronger than your average lawn mower, damn, that boy is both lucky and good!
